Paypal and alternative ShipTo
Paypal has issues. My credit card allows for an alternate shipping address. I called them up, they added the address, and there was no problem. So when I ask for something to be billed to my BillTo address and Shipped to a ShipTo address, the address can be confirmed and there should be any problem. Quite honestly, I buy a good deal online and I almost always ship packages to my work address because there's someone there to receive the package.
When I tried buying a hard drive today, I decided to use Paypal to take advantage of this promotional offer. Paypay, being the shitty service that it is, doesn’t allow me to specify a ShipTo address other than my BillTo address. So when I confirmed the transaction, NewEgg kept rejecting the order because of a mismatch in the ShipTo address. I was on the phone and was transferred from person to person but the bottom line was that nobody had any idea how to fix the problem.
That isn't their only problem. Their toolbar is difficult to navigate, but more importantly, their business model has serious flaws the put consumers at risk. They only insure customers for $1000 and that's only if you use a banking account. From what I hear, if you use a credit card, you're not insured, and you can't dispute the charge since the dispute would be over whether Paypal PAID the recipient. That's what you credit card charge is for after all. You're paying Paypal, and Paypal pays the seller. So if you dispute the charge you're disputing your payment to Paypal, not the payment that goes to the seller.
